Stephen Hawking says that the next 21st century will be the century of complexity and indeed now Systems Biology or Medicine means dealing with complexity. Both genome and physiome have been emerged in studying complex physiological systems. Computational and mathematical modelling has been regarded as an efficient tool to boost understanding about the living systems in normal or pathophysiological states.
This textbook introduces the students and researchers to the modelling and computational study of physiology (i.e. quantitative physiology), which is an increasingly important branch of systems biology. The topics cover basic methodology, case practices and advanced applications. This book aims to build multiscale model for investigating the function in living systems, or, how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system. Some of the models related on gene expression, calcium signalling, neural activity, blood dynamics and bone mechanics have been addressed. This book is devoted to set a paradigm for quantitative physiology by integrating biology, mathematics, physics and informatics etc.
